Like many HSPs, Vincent van Gogh found wonder in the little things in life, as seen in his paintings like “Starry Night.”

Highly sensitive people often get harsh judgment from the people around us. But what message are you giving yourself?

HSPs feel like if we don’t say “yes,” we’ll disappoint someone. But those “yes’s” add up — and pretty soon you’re your own lowest priority.

As an HSP in the city, I learned to work with the noise and embrace it, like a swimmer floating along instead of fighting the current.

The more you try to “fit in” and hide your HSP needs, the more inauthentic you’ll feel — and it’ll only do more harm than good.

When discovering I’m an empath and HSP, I became an intuitive archaeologist, digging up why I felt the way I did, like how I’d absorb everyone’s emotions.

Perfectionism is like jet fuel for my anxiety. But what if HSPs can turn it into something that’s actually healthy?

Every HSP’s “best life” is different, but they all lead to one place — finding the purpose and joy that sensitive people crave.

Emotions are like a beach ball — the more you try to keep them submerged under water, the stronger they’ll be when they reemerge.

If you feel guilty for being honest, standing up for yourself, or saying no to someone, you’re not alone — and it’s possible to retrain your brain to stop.

As a highly sensitive person, it’s a constant struggle between trying to mesh my Chinese identity with my HSP one.

Being selfless comes at a high cost, especially for sensitive souls, since it means neglecting your wants and needs.
